"The Hotdog Ez Bun Steamer" and "The Steamie 3 pc System"

 Texas Kitchen got to test out "The Hotdog Ez Bun Steamer" and "The Steamie 3 pc System" These are two really cool As Seen On TV products that are worth the money in my opinion.

  Lets start with "The Hotdog Ez Bun Steamer". This fun invention is my favorite of the two. Mainly because I am a hot dog junkie. It is an innovative way to cook your hotdogs on the stove while having the ability to steam the hotdog buns using the steam from the cooking hot dogs.

  The whole family likes the way the buns steam along with the hot dogs cooking. I was afraid the bread would be soggy so I was a bit skeptical. First taste and I was hooked. The store bought bun tasted like it was just baked moments ago. Not soggy at all. The bun was perfect Since we were doing a test we made one hotdog with the bun not steamed. It just wasn't the same. The steamed bun won the taste test hands down. A big difference in flavor and texture.


"The Hotdog Ez Bun Steamer" is super simple to use Y'all know this video from TV:

The Hotdog Ez Bun Steamer has adjustable handles to fit any pot*
Handles suspend the bun steaming platform above the cooking hotdogs. A cross shaped opening allows tongs to reach through, open and grasp to retreive the cooked hotdogs from below without having to remove the steaming grill. The unique shaped handles hold the lid in place for better steaming and create a gap for venting so the water doesn't boiling over.

 Next we got out Hubby's favorite the "The Steamie 3 pc System" This one one cool set up. You can use it to steam. boil deep fry etc...See how incredibly easy it is to make your entire meal in and over one pot.  Here they are boiling shrimp, steaming fish and asparagus and warming up a tasty sauce in the middle. All at the same time. What a time saver. Not to mention less dishes and less electricity or gas used for the stove. Here in Texas it gets plenty hot. The idea of just heating up one burner to make dinner keeps my air conditioning bill down as well. I love this set.

 I love that Coy is meant for real women who do their hair, themselves, every morning. Let's face it y'all not all of us are skilled in the hair styling department. Coy Hair Products have a page on their site packed full of stylist tips that you can check out . I learned quite alot.

Prem Soaps: Organic and Vegan, Kitchen-made in Brooklyn with Love

Prem soaps sent over some of their products for review. Prem Soaps has some of the most innovative fragrance combinations I have seen. Y'all may be wondering where the name Prem came from. Well Prem means Love. The folks at Prem soaps put a little love into everything they make.

Here are some of their many soap scents:

 Leaves your skin feeling amazingly clean. Love that it has tea tree oil. That is so good for your skin. Quality ingredients make all the difference.

pine with lavender flowers soap

Just in time for spring, this soap reminds us of the great outdoors! Crisp and fresh, yet warming pine essential oil and calming lavender come together.

This is a truly beautiful soap. It has a refreshing scent and lathers nicely. Leaves a clean fresh feel to your skin.

clove with pink rose petals soap

Both visually beautiful and great-smelling, clove with pink rose petals blends the delicate scent of roses with the warm, uplifiting scent of cloves.

 This is a very unique soap you can actually see the rose petals in the bar. Absolutely gorgeous. Love the scent too.

Prem Soaps also makes these great lip balms 

cinnamon lip balm

Organic ground cinnamon and spicy cinnamon essential oil are combined to create a natural lip plumper. Our most glamorous gloss!

Comes in this great little tin with a lid that slides to the side. Apply with fingertip or your favorite applicator brush. Great Natural cinnamon flavor. gave my lips a glossy shine

This candle brings the fresh smells of summer indoors! Refreshing to mind, body and spirit.

Wax is soft even before you light the candle. Easy to enjoy. Trim the wick and light the candle. Wait about twenty minutes for the wax to melt, then blow out the candle. Apply the warm oil to skin and massage in. Oil is warm but not hot. Strong fragrance stays on skin.

Cedarwood and Patchouli Salt Scru

Salt Scrubs:

cedarwood patchouli salt scrub

Made with a combination of sweet almond oil and avocado oil, this scrub is both deep-penetrating and revives skin's natural glow. This scrub smells musky-sweet and woodsy. Many people think patchouli creates an amorous atmosphere - watch out, lovers!

My favorite product is their Cedarwood and Patchouli Salt Scrub. You have to stir this one up a bit before you use it. The fragranced oil and salt mixture separate a bit. That is normal in salt scrubs. I love the cute way they use canning jars to emphasize the fact that their scrubs are kitchen-made. The scent combination of cedarwood and patchouli is very sensuous. After using this scrub, my skin felt incredibly smooth and like the oils are holding in all the moisture. The scent lingered throughout the night.
